vent the grain from rising to an ex- 

 cessive price, consist in holding out 

 full security and indemnification to 

 all farmers and other lawful dealers, 

 who shall bring their corn, or other 

 commodities, regularly to market, 

 and in giving early notice of a de- 

 termined resolution to suppress at 

 once, and by force, if it shall un- 

 happily be necessary, every attempt 

 to impede, by open acts of violence, 

 or by intimidation, the regular bu- 

 siness of the markets. I therefore 

 most earnestly recommend this sub- 



ject to the most serious attentioa 

 and consideration of the magistrates, 

 and desire to suggest to them the 

 propriety of framing and publishing 

 such additional resolutions as maybe 

 judged most conducive to the re- 

 storation of the confidence which is 

 necessary to dispose the farmers and 

 others concerned in the supply of 

 the various articles of provision, to 

 bring their commodities regularly 

 to market. I am, &c.
